DD Portrait of Danielle Dicentio

Danielle Dicentio

Compassionate, tailored mental health support

About Danielle

Danielle Dicentio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who draws on person-centered care to meet each client where they are.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and family-related issues. With an empathetic stance, she helps clients explore underlying patterns like attachment and abandonment, as well as related challenges including body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Over three years of professional experience inform her work with people navigating chronic pain, illness, or disability, caregiver stress, and life purpose questions. She also supports those facing complex presentations such as dissociation, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, intellectual disability considerations, and issues connected to cancer.

Danielle frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering various session formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can engage in a way that fits their life and needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Danielle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a collaborative, client-centered manner. One approach focuses on understanding and processing trauma and abuse, helping people develop skills to manage intrusive memories, emotional responses, and triggers while building safety and coping strategies. Another common emphasis is on addressing anxiety and stress through practical tools for emotion regulation, coping skills, and cognitive techniques that clarify unhelpful thinking patterns and promote more adaptive responses. These approaches are useful for a wide range of concerns, from mood and anxiety disorders to chronic stress and relationship-related difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic method is part of the work together. Danielle will explore a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and adapt techniques over time so the plan fits individual needs. This collaborative process means techniques can be blended or shifted as progress and circumstances guide treatment decisions.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options let clients maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, and health demands, and make it easier to engage in consistent sessions from home or other convenient settings. Licensed professionals can tailor session frequency and format to support steady progress toward goals.
